Rice Krispie Treats, Perfected

Original recipe

A classic recipe, but improved. Two tips before you begin:

  • Don’t think of these as cereal with a little marshmellow, think of them as marshmellow with a little bit of cereal
  • Don’t skip the salt! It’s a small amount but it cuts the sweetness in just the right way.

Ingredients

  • Butter   (5 tbsp)
  • Crispie cereal   (6 cups)
  • Marshmallows   (8 cups)
  • Mini marshmallows   (2 cups)
  • Salt   (½ tsp)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×9 pan with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray, set aside.

  2. Melt butter.

    In a large pot over low heat melt butter. Once butter s melted add in 8 cups mini marshmallows, stirring constantly.

  3. Stir in marshmellows. Once the marshmallows are just melted remove from heat and stir in your cereal and salt until just coated in marshmallow mixture. Now stir in the remaining 2 cups of mini marshmallows.

  4. Pour mixture into prepared pan and press in evenly. Be gentle though, you don’t want to lose the air in the treats.

  5. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
